TPP Mental Health Check-In 🗯️

It is the first day of September 🍎🍂: Leaves are beginning to fall and change color, flowers will bloom and our coffees are drowning in pumpkin and cinnamon flavors.

Seasons change and so do we. We’re constantly growing, evolving and learning something new about ourselves and the world. So, with that being said,

check in and comment down your 💭—
 ° Name ° How you’re feeling at this moment  ° And your answer to today’s Q: “What’s something new that you hope to do or learn about during this fall season?”

Be real. Be authentic. Be transparent. Take accountability for what you need to get through the week.
 And don’t forget to breathe in… and breathe out.

Join us in screaming Happy Birthday to one of our favs, Twin 🤩🥳!

There may never be enough words to capture how we feel about Jean, but we can try. In addition to being one of the funniest people we know, he’s also humble, honest and trustworthy. There’s no question that he’ll always answer a phone call or show up in space, and that he loves the work that he does.

It hasn’t even been two years since he’s been home, but to us, it feels like a lifetime.
Happy Birthday Twin, we love you! ♥️🎊🎂

Happy First Year Anniversary Home, Wally! 🎊  After 17 years in prison, Wally came home to us on August 13, 2025.

Wally the Walrus is like a big teddy bear, dressed up as Santa Claus with a bible in one hand and a foot long sandwich in the other.

Ever since he came out and every time he speaks, there’s a warm, magnetic energy that radiates around him onto others. Within any given conversation with Wally, you’ll rarely leave without a laugh or deep thought.

And just within one year, he shows his discipline and transformation: He got his first full time job at the Transformational Prison Project as a Program Development Coordinator, went on his first flight to NOLA and, at this moment, is moving into his first apartment!  He is an embodiment of what second chances look like and we’re beyond grateful to have him a part of the family.

We love you, Wally! Happy FIRST Year Home and many more to come ☺️💙💛

A reminder that our exclusive TPP shirt from our line, “The Freedom Drop,” is still for sale! 💃👕

This exclusive “Hurt People Hurt People, Healed People Heal People” shirt was inspired by our first event, “A Night of Freedom Under the Stars,” a prom-themed fundraiser created for people who never got a chance to experience prom because they were sentenced to prison at a young age.

This limited-edition, commemorative, t-shirt represents hope, joy, belonging, and the power of transformation with its black and gold colors.

Every purchase helps advance Transformational Prison Project’s work to build restorative communities and create opportunities for people impacted by incarceration.

And the night continued..✨

On August 1st, we opened the doors to the Cyclorama for nearly 300 guests, most who never got the chance to experience prom because they were incarcerated at a young age. But we changed that, and got a chance to celebrate community, freedom and second chances under one roof.

We are still coming down from the high of our first event and fundraiser, “A Night of Freedom Under the Stars.” ✨

On August 1st, we opened the doors to the Cyclorama for nearly 300 guests, most who never got the chance to experience prom because they were incarcerated at a young age. But we changed that, and got a chance to celebrate community, freedom and second chances under one roof.

Before prom, we interviewed five formerly incarcerated guests who told us what they thought the night would be like. Based on their responses and this compilation video, recorded by our amazing intern, Ava what do you guys think 😏?

We want to shift the spotlight for a second to the work that we do. ✨

For our new followers and supporters: Hi. 👋 We call ourselves the Transformational Prison Project (TPP). We are a non-profit, restorative justice organization that was born inside the walls of MCI-Norfolk in 2013, the largest medium security prison in Massachusetts.

As laws began to change in 2020, lifers from the inside were given the chance to come home and TPP was officially brought from the inside to the out. Our focus eventually moved to assisting with reentry for those who went to prison young and came home as adults with little support and a new life to live.

With our mantra “Hurt People Hurt People. Healed People Heal People,” and our restorative justice practices, we go into House of Corrections, Department of Youth Services, schools, courtrooms and the community to encourage healing and accountability, and to change the way that the criminal system responds to harm.

For more information on who we are, what we do and how you can support us, go to 🔍 www.transformprison.org.

We told you guys that there’d never be enough pictures and videos to capture our prom fundraiser..so why not post more ☺️?

📸° our amazing intern, Ava.

‘A Night of Freedom Under the Stars’ was the Transformational Prison Project’s first ever event, a prom-themed fundraiser created for those who never went to prom before because they were sentenced to prison at a young age, and open to all who believe in second chances.

TPP PROM 2K26 🥵

The TPP family wants to sincerely thank you all for coming 💃✨

We did this prom for you: the community we serve, the organizations we partner with, our funders who support us. We wanted a night of fun and laughter and dancing while we celebrated the first prom of those who went to prison at a young age. This was a night for everyone to let go, come together and feel FREE.

There will never be enough videos and pictures that could capture the true spirit and energy of the room, (although we WILL be posting more of them 🌚) but we want to thank everyone for coming. We hope it was as special of a night for you as it was for us.

So, again, why did we throw this prom? What made it so special? Who was it for? It’s simple.

The short answer is:

You.
